Gobby livens up the Brooks’ press conference:
“Have you had any messages of support from the Prime Minister?”
The last Quango in Paris says:
Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
yo guido is this up right
Sort it out Guido, you luddite!
Guido – its not working!
I hate Kay Burley! Her pro labour stance is doing my head in.
oui, il marche pas
Anonymous
re ms burley’s pro-labour stance: surely, that means Murdoch’s current playing tow sides stance: Times and some of Sun anti-labour (not necessarily pro-conservatives) and Sky still supportive of the incumbent.
Just wait for Murdoch’s next move. It will be as opportunistic as having the UK Times back Obama rather than his american channel or paper. not alienating his US audience whilst cuddling up to the likely winner via a detour.
Mandelson is very friendly with the Murdochs. Need I say more?
Cameron took a dive for the EUSSR, Don’t want that referendum now do we dave? No doubt Dave will give Gordon a standing ovation for his services to the EUSSR and global bankers when Gordo gets the all clear to leave.
He has plenty of previous for exactly the same manoeuvre on many occasions.
Dave will do as he is told, that you can rely on.
Cameron clearly does not want to do Brown any harm. Contented himself with just making life difficult for him and Darling in the reshuffle.
Brown was just giving his standard mantra which will be useless in a general election
Agree totally – Brown’s a dead man walking already, universally hated the length and breadth of the country and the longer he stays the more votes Labour will lose to an outraged and very frustrated electorate. Why should Cameron put himself out when Brown is alienating huges swathes of opinion virtually every time he opens his mouth.
Just caught up with PMQs via Player. Gordon Brown & his Speaker firmly in charge – NOT.
was working a moment ago
does it start a 12 on the dot then
Pure delight!
Brown’s a twat. Bitch slap him till he *screams* with de-lite.
only 11 minutes to go, need to give pithy comment
Taking the pith?
ish
First
Ha Ha!
Just cannot keep up with it all. lol
They can all ‘pith off’ as far as I’m concerned!
It’s at this link…

Hoon imploding
It’s tragic to watch
Just incriminated himself in the court of public opinion. The Hoon.
The incontinence pants are working well
I can’t fuckin’ wait!
I want to see the whole kit and caboodle on lamp posts, a- hinging in the breeze. There are those who think Hitler was beaten, if so how come Hitler and the nazis are ensconced in Downing Street?
Brillo crucifying Hoon on BBC2.
Brillo bitch slapped hoon and why are aljahbeeba going on about Ashcroft?
Gordon is becoming as lame as John Major was towards the end.
It’s in a completely different league. Blue Square against the top 4 in the Premiership.
Brown has already lost votes with a 60+ seat majority. John Major never lost a vote when he had a majority. And Major never had a majority in his own right above 21.
Browns party are deserting him faster and in greater numbers than Major’s and the levels of sleaze happening under Brown’s watch make Major’s lot look like innocent primary school teachers.
Brown is far far worse than Major. Major took Thatcher’s recession and turned it into a golden legacy. Brown took that golden legacy and turned it into a depression.
Brown is not in the same league as John Major.
Brown is far far worse.
Are we going to count how many ministers fall in the next 30 mins?
Sorry that’s 40 mins….
my god the cabinet must hold Brown in utter contempt
They already hold the entire electorate in complete contempt, what difference does adding one more person to that list make?
Lord – what a whirlwind this morning!! Flint not gone yet??? Who’s next???
Hoon getting a fecking creaming!
We are witnessing a sort of rolling coup d’etat. Instigated by the sisterhood.
Yes and who is master minding it? Harriett who wants to be Leader??
hmm, not up there either
BBC agenda – Ashcroft – get the Tories!!
They desperately attack the tories at any opportunity, what the witless incompetents at Pravda do not realise is of course, their tactic is not helping ZanuLab, if anything its making people turn away from the big three in droves.
They are percieved to be ALL at it, so an attack on one, is an attack on all. Pravda truly is a parody propaganda organisation, they cant even get the propaganda right.
Expect big shocks tomorrow.
They could be doing Dave a favour. He needs to sort out Ashcroft’s position, as they have never been clear about his tax status. It’s quite simple, if Ashcroft wants to be a player on the UK political scene, he has to pay his taxes in full, like the rest of us. So the sooner Cameron deals with it, the better. And he should keep well clear of Christopher Moran, as well.

whose idea was it to put Hoon and Spelman on? Somebody fucked up, both at Tory and Labour HQs.
Oh happy days …

Crumbling Cabinet Edition

Ha Ha Ha the best Pravda can do is to follow the Ashcroft script. Let’s ask whether the dodgy donation was ever repaid.
From BBC political correspondent Ben Wright: One Labour MP just told me that today will be Gordon Brown’s last PMQs.
Was Gordy worried about Susan Boyle? Or was he just trying to get the inside scoop on the prioy’s facililities for a mini-breakdown?
Jesus, i just can’t face PM Harriet – I mean I know it will mean an even bigger Tory win which some of you guys will no doubt feel is worth it. But Harriet Harman as PM, fucking hell.
Dave can’t allow it – he must put everything into securing a no-confidence vote, we must have an election within weeks.
PMQ’s – Balls and Johnson sitting side by side looking like mourners at a funeral!!!!!!!!
All eyes on Darling. He is the key.
Oh why not log on to Brillo’s Daily Politics on BBC 2 (you get PMQs in the middle of it.) I have just watched the big Hoon wriggling on the end of Brillo’s bent pin!… Could even win a DP mug on ‘Guess the Year’ in the idiots’ lottery.
Nick Robinson denies conspiracy theory to get Subo Brown out… So its back to the tabloids ‘Rats Leaving the Sinking Ship’.
Cut the crap and just tell us when the General Election is……
Oh God ” there is work to be done….”
Why don’t they at least teach him a few more phrases?
Labourlist is saying two more resignations expected today
What is the quorum for the Cabinet? Hope it’s not 1, or 2.
Under Bliar, it was one.
DC – G’s ability to command is cabinet has disappeared
G – at a time like this -have to look to achievements – improved relationship between police and community
And Harriett actually shaking her head as Gordon responds
Martin just threatened to suspend House so that there will be no PMQ!!!!!
Now that would be a way out of his agony as DC puts the knife in.
….. and there’s work to be done. Jeez.
I for one don’t want hm to go .. I want an early GE with him leading into oblivion.
Obvoiusly Blears, Flint, Darling .. and the Guardian, want a new leader and a year to recover with someone else at the helm.
THank Cheeerist Martin is going. What a colossal twat!!
“Will the Chancellor still be there in a week’s time?”
The question should really be – Will GB still be there in a week’s time?
I very much hope to be here in a week’s time but, hopefully, that one-eyed twat who keeps trying to impersonate a prime minister will be long gone by then
I fear he may be gone… and with it a GE before June.
I pray I’m wrong.
We need NuLabour out on a landslide.
That is the ONLY thing this incompetent can and will deliver.
Dave made some good points, but the Gorgon was surprisingly feisty.
I think it’s quite clear that he honestly believes he’s never going to go.
Feisty in an angry, drunken half-blind bear lashing out grumpily and spitting froth then sitting down , crossing his arms and glaring kind of way.
Dave spent too much focus on Darling and not enough about the sorry state of the country.
Call me Dave is always missing the open goal. he should have started with “call an election” and not let the cowardly SnotGourmet off the ropes.
Instead he deferred to the mentalist, with the wimpish “will he call an election” as if pleading. He should have been more aggressive and demanded that Bruin go to the country, told him that he was frightened of the electorate, reminded everyone that Bruin has NO MANDATE to be PM and so on.
What did we get instead?
Not good enough Dave, not good enough.
No! Dave must let the one eyed git string his own lamp post. The longer this sorry affair continues the better as far as I’m concerned.
Harriet as PM is someone who would make Kim Campbell look good eh.
“Decent homes in a constituency”
Like the one occupied by the disgusting Uddin?
Harman looks like a giraffe in that stupid outfit. Or does she consider it camouflage?
She’s trying to power dress, but clearly hasn’t a clue.
you’re all going down with me, ha ha!
No Geoffrey Howe moment yet then? Good, I want shit head Brown to be in place for the next election to get annihilated
Blimey, what a shower of shit Labour have become under Brown.
I wonder when that no good son of mine will come down from his bedroom for his lunch? Since leaving school at sixteen and becoming one of Downing Street’s ‘Youth Opportunity Group’ he has become bloated and pale, and spends all his time in front of his laptop. What am I to do?
Give him a box of Kleenex and a Playboy magazine so that he can discover healthier pursuits.
“Since leaving school at sixteen and becoming one of Downing Street’s ‘Youth Opportunity Group’ he has become bloated and pale, and spends all his time in front of his laptop. What am I to do?”
—————————————————-
Might I suggest that you kill him, and then kill yourself for spawning such a fetid waste of DNA?
I would suggest a nice car journey in the fresh air and sunshine.
As for a destination, how about Beachy Head – it seems a popular choice at the moment and that sea air would work wonders
I trust you’ve taught him about the bees and the bees? Make sure he knows to always use a condom, no matter what the Prime Minister says.
Also, his right bicep appears to have swollen beyond all recognition, and his left withered away: he looks to all intents and purposes like a human fiddler crab.
Can’t see Hazel anywhere. Is she , squirrelled away somewhere, preparing to do an expose on Brown once PMQ’s are finished.
JacquiS also seems to be missing.
I think Dave was holding off somewhat. They want booby Brown exactly where he is.
Cameron made an ass of himself, what a lightweight.
Osborne put on view, the giggling flycatcher.
It was exquisite.
Nothing, nothing, nothing
From now on just call me by my proper name-Wanker.Everyone else calls me that.
I can understand why they call you that. Although I’d add Stupid because you vote labour.
You sad little tadger, and I’m your mum!
And ‘little tadger’ being the operative words! It was no bigger than my little finger!
Nothing is the total amount of good labour has done in the last 12 years
Nothing is the answer to the question, what is Gordon’s plan to recovery?
Nothing is the description of the inside of a current labour voter’s head.
Brown could not string together a single answer. All he had was the usual lies and bullshit.
If he is such a great leader. why are the cabinet queuing up to desert his sinking ship?
If his own cabinet no longer supports him, why the hell should any of the rest of us?
Master Baiter. Do the economy some good. Kill yourself!
Complete bloody anticlimax.
Cleggy drew some blood but Cameron missed an open goal.
And let’s not try and excuse it with bollox of wanting to coddle Brown.
Dave better up his game soon.
It is obvious the Tories are scared that Brown will be ousted and want him to be leading Labour at the next GE.
Of course it is. It doens’t sound like an excuse to be piss poor at all.
Sorry Guido – I didn’t leave without saying thank you and goodbye but there were tech issues with my laptop – or was it some ‘interference on the line’??
Thank you as always and see ya peeps.
Have you idiots ever heard the saying “Better the devil you know”? Then apply it to logic then, and vote for the only man who can take this Country forward at this present juncture. Gordon Brown! – You morons haven’t got the sense you were born with.
You are a HOON
Nice try! not woring now!!
Its just a shame that the devil we know has screwed up our country and made it a laughing stock…otherwise that argument would have surely persuaded me.
Tosser.
Yes, “the devil you know” = “the father of lies”
Absolutely.
People that are asking him to leave are just stupid.
He’s the right man to take Britain forward into oblivion.
Yes Gordon is doing a Brilliant Job.
He is destroying the UK and the Parliament and the entire system far more effectively than Al Queda ever could.
If you HATE Britain with an intense fiery passion and you want to see this country destroyed, then there is only one party to vote for.
LABOUR!
Useless and hopeless.
What a fop, no fire and no dagger plunged into dracula PM.
Cameron needs some brimstone lessons.
Didn’t I do well. Didn’t answer one question
Somewhat disappointed by PMQs.
Brown is an oaf and we all know it. It would be good if Cameron tried a different tack sometimes. maybe not ask all questions at once, different topics etc. If he had an open goal today then I think he only hit the post. Tis a pity cos Brown really deserves a thoroughly good beating preferably with the mace!
Master Baiter surely you can see Comrade Brown is raging against the dying light? He never had any authority in the first place, being foisted on us by the PLP and then chickening out of an election he probably would have romped. The mans a coward and a charlatan.
Cameron is keeping his powder dry until after tomorrow’s elections.
The first PMQ after that should be more interesting.
John Pienaar on 5Live said he had spoken with “an active plotter”, no interest from Victoria Derbyshire as to who that might be. I wonder if Labour supporting Simon Mayo will raise the question in his show.
Please, give a list of BBC employees who DON’T vote Labour!
..I’m struggling. David Starkey… Err.. Anybody else?
£16m-a-year Jonathan Woss is a core, Labour voter
Radio4 : Guardian-Reader Set.
Radio5 : Socialist-Worker Speakers. (Huh… The very name – ‘Socialist Worker’ – if ever 2 oxymoronic words didn’t belong together in the same sentence… Jeez.)
“Better the devil you know” – Brown is electoral deadmeat.
Tubby’s failure to back Darling was very telling – if Badger weren’t going to be sacrificed on the alter, Tubby would have said so.
Clever question from Cameron – Brown is in a no-win situation with Darling. If he moves him as we all expect – DC comes back next week and says, “Why move him – last week you said he was doing a good job.” If he doesn’t move him, Cameron’s got him again on the expenses angle – check mate.
I thaught posteman pat was looking a tad off colour.
Me too – also Gordon’s new best mate Shaun siting and smiling all the way through – big job for Woodward then. It was hilarious during second jobs planted question that Woodward was laughing and pointing at Tories front bench considering his multi-million pound fortune. He’s worse than a hoon.
Sorry guys, even though I’m tempted to back him this time around, Cameron was awful. He had an open goal and shot well wide.
So you don’t believe the stories that they’d rather face Brown than Johnson in an election?
So are you saying that if they change to Johnson, then Cameron can’t beat him?
Johnson would ditch ZaNu in the sea, Brown would fly it straight into the ground (and Harriet Harman, into the side of a mountain). Obviously Cameron would prefer the Kamikaze scenario.
Did I miss something? Has Boris changed sides?
Heheh..
Dave and Clegg definitely pulled their punches today.Brown was as pugnacious as ever and kept pulling that hideous rictus grin while hearing about his Cabinet falling apart at the seams.Tellingly, while everyone else listned to Clegg pay tribute to those killed in Afghanistan, Brown was not listening but fiddling with his papers.I found that very revealing and I am sure many thousands of others did too.
But why do we have these lists of casualties, with the pathetic assurances that “they will never been forgotten”?
How many people can remember this week’s list now, let alone the last one?
What appears to have tipped Hazel Blears over the edge this morning was a suggestion – on the front page of this morning’s Telegraph – of Downing Street sources blaming the Communities Secretary for briefing that Jacqui Smith was resigning.
She vehemently and furiously rejected the charge last night when it surfaced. “All we can do is tell the truth that it didn’t come from us,” said a friend last night. And then she quit.

BBC News 24 just now “There is a growing and organised backbench campaign to get rid of Gordon Brown. They are planning to unseat him next week”.
The Daily Mail must stop this !
He’s a one man Conservative election landslide.
Keep him in place.
It’s an immediate GE we want with him in the seat.
Rampant speculation that there is a leadership challenege from Toenails, etc.
Too good to be true I think, but we shall see.
Toenails for Leader?
BBC takes over Government.?
Anything’s possible.
Badly phrased on my part…
Toenails indicated that there is the start of a conspiracy, and reporter on ground confirmed she had spoken to backbenchers involved.
They already have.
Hopefully the Tories will kill off Labour’s Political Broadcasting company.
Still, I look forward to the “tolerance” shown from the Muslim Community “Leaders” with respect to the new Gay Muslim storyline. Does Keith Vaz have a part? I heard the audition was asking for a “slippery arsehole”.
Today isn’t over yet fellers…
You’re going to get something else hitting the six o clock news, then something else for the ten. The wimmin are running things now. Broon hasn’t got a fucking clue – he’s being outplayed here and he doesn’t even realise the game is running.
What bad luck the old Snotgobbler has! All these women riding the cotton pony on the same week and taking it out on him!
what the fuck is with sky interviewing all the labour knobs ??????
and giving them the airtime to “politically broadcast”
Kay Burley , get of your knees and stop sucking their cocks, you shameful bitch
Can Kay Burley only get Labour MP’s to interview outside the house at mo. on Sky? The last 15 minutes have been labour spin from the usual suspects. Yawn.
Nokia share price set to treble later this afternoon.
Private Eye, issue 584, 4 May 1984. ‘New Boys column’
Dr Gordon Brown
The new Labour member for Dunfermline East, Dr Gordon Brown, is typical of the brand of mediocre, middle-class careerists who make up an increasing proportion of the undistinguished lobby-fodder and whom Labour habitually returns from Scotland, though he has greater academic pretensions than most.
Brown shot to provincial fame on being elected as Edinburgh University’s first student Rector in the late 1960s and ever since his ambition has outstripped his ability. Although, in a tribute, his old history tutor Dr Paul Addison has stated that Brown was “always more than a swot”, it appears that he lacked certain essential social graces. He never fully recovered from his rejection as suitor by the lovely Princess Marguerita of Romania (who works as a computer programmer in the University’s Computer Department) and ever since has devoted himself obsessively to his political career.
Before becoming Labour’s Scottish Chairman (a meaningless appointment made on the “Buggins’ Turn” principle) Brown worked on a series of current affairs documentaries for Scottish TV which were so excruciatingly dull that he was mercifully taken off the air (he has two brothers in the Scots media).
Once again he has been exceeding his limitations in his new role as a Scots lackey in the outer limits of Kinnock’s kitchen cabinet. A recent Sunday Times article which he had ghosted for the new labour leader had to be withdrawn as “hopeless” by Kinnock’s press officer, Patricia “Harpie” Hewitt.
In June, Brown will enjoy a three-week CIA freebie trip to the USA (he will get $60 a day pocket money while out there.) Kinnock felt obliged to approve this unfashionable hostage to fortune because he himself had been on a similar trip some years ago.
Good old Private Eye – eerily prescient.
Amazing another crap politician from north of Hadrians Wall. Others include a crap speaker, defence sec , chancellor etc. Seems to me that the Dear Leaders porridge eating friends should stay north of the border where they can do no harm. The Romans were right,now in the time of high unemployment due to the Dear Leaders failure to grasp reality maybe we should rebuild the wall only this time 4m higher and 3m wider. At least the tax payer would get value for money as long as its not another off balance sheet financed PfI.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I buy ‘Private Eye’.
PE has been in to these fuckers since day one. All over them like a rash. Why the fuck does anybody read ‘The Telegraph’ or ‘The Grauniad’ just ‘cos it reflects their political prejudices. PE is the real deal. Sure, it’s fronted by St. Cakes Old Boy, Ian Hislop, but having bought his rag through the Thatcher years and now the Blair/Brown terror he is, in my opinion, very fair about the fuckers in power.
Ie they’re all crooks.
This comment was sponsored by Private Eye.
My posting will be light over the next few days.Fiddling votes isnt an easy job you know.
You as well -which seats are you winning for your lot? I think I have stitched up Eastern England.
He must in Blackburn rigging the votes up there for Mr. Straw.
Cameron absolutely right not to rally the Labour troops by going for the jugular.
Brown followed my advice and smiled a lot today.I think most normal people can relate to someone whop has such a sunny persona.
Tra Laa
Jeez you are smoking some heavy stuff! Tt wasn’t a smile, it was a rictus! Every time it appears, you want to smack it!
Still, im surprised you saw it being so far up gordo’s aris…
At first I thought that Brown had exposed his arse on TV but then I realised that he had just reverted to his standard “you can’t hurt me” smile.
Cameron is playing a long game. Not the most entertaining, but sensible.
Braun is the biggest losing card in ZanuLab’s hand, come the General Election. He brings a guarantee of disaster at the poll.
The longer he flounders, the better for Cameron, and the more self-destructive the PLP will become.
The gloves will be off from Friday.
It will be sweeter watching Labour tear itself to shreds in the long run.
Amidst the testicular blinks was a definite wink (and nod) toward the Lib Dem benches. Wonder what that was about?
Oaten! What’s the scuttlebutt?
Poor performance Davidito. Killer instinct absent. Today was THE day. Muletta, sword, recibiendo, exit Brown.
BBC reporter on the DP just said there is a growing and well organised Labour backbench campaign to unseat Brown next week. Trevor Kavanagh of The Sun also said on the radio this morning that he expects Brown to be kicked out within 10 days.
Is this Brown’s last week as PM?
I predict that Labour will win the local elections and return over 100% of the votes.
I agree
dribble, dribble.
Nurse bring me my medication…
“……and return over 100% of the vote”
As in “110% of the votes, Mugabe style”
BBC: backbenchers plan to oust Brown before the end of next week.
No need for Dave to put the knife in – the cabinet will do that for him, that will reflect much worse on Labour.
Quite.
Never interupt your enemy whilst he is making a mistake.
2 thoughts on today’s PMQs:
1. Seriously, what’s the point of PMQs? I know it’s good entertainment for those who care about such things, but it doesn’t actually serve any useful purpose. Hardly anyone actually asks a meaningful question, and even if they do Gordon won’t answer it. It’s all about cheap political point scoring. Except that it’s not cheap. Given how much we’re paying these clowns, how much does half an hour of their time for all 600-odd of them cost us?
2. Having watched Sir Peter Tapsell’s contribution, I wonder just how long before PMQs start do they open the MPs’ subsidised bar?
Tapsell will be 80 next year; he has been in Parliament for nearly FIFTY years.
Time to call ‘time’ , Sir Peter ????
I hate to think what the total cost to the taxpayer of 50 years’ worth of subsidised G&Ts might be.
The old buffer’s got a bit of a Seagram’s ‘sun tan’ and a Warre’s waistband…a few ‘Fonsecas for the ole’ Frog ‘n’ Toad’ wot,wot ?’
Guido – interesting rumour on BBC Daily Politics show from Anna the Reporter that backbenchers are gearing up for a Gordon Brown mutiny.
Mutiny
Cameron DELIBERATELY let Brhoon off the hook today.
Let’s be absolutely honest, we’ve gone way past the tipping point, Labour are totally finished but the longer Brhoon clings desperately on to power, the longer Labour will be out of government.
Brhoon’s victory at PMQ today is Labour’s PYRRHIC victory.
You could well be right there. Cameron knows that with Gordon still as Labour Party Leader, all he has to do to gain a massive Tory win at the next election is to show up and not get caught in bed with a troupe of Brazilian ladyboys, paid for on expenses, in the week before the election.
You rang ??
Heheh… I just pray your words on Dave aren’t portentous ;o)
I agree. The Eater of Nosecandy is hanging himself quite nicely without any help.
Still, with his wife is taking anger management tips from Naomi Campbell so she can keep up with Gordon.
“Geoff Hoon is asked about the fact Labour backbenchers have told Daily Politics reporter Anne Alexander that there is an email going round seeking support for Alan Johnson to replace Gordon Brown as prime minister. Mr Hoon says they may have said it but in his view a revolt was “highly unlikely” and that Labour MPs recognise Mr Brown is the right person to lead people through difficult economic times.”
That’s the Labour Party fucked.
What is this drivel about Cameron deliberately being rubbish ?
His questions were all intended to destabalise Brown and they all missed.
If he wanted to play safe and keep him there he would have went on Europe, sideswiping UKip or anything else instead of soundling like a limp sickly parrot.
He won’t get an open goal like that every day.
Destabalise. Does that involve taking the knives out of his back?
Only so you can put them back in somewhere else
On Sky live chat – Cameron scored by 79% as the winner at PMQs
There was briefly a headline on the DT saying Hazel hadn’t paid CGT on yet another property, and hence her prompt resignation….briefing from No 10, I presume?
Here’s the story:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5435583/Hazel-Blears-resignation-triggered-by-capital-gains-tax-on-another-property-MPs-expenses.html
Story written by Andrew Porter…
Now please don’t tell me the DT didn’t know exactly which properties Hazel had claimed for, and also researched via the Land Registry what she paid for each, and what she sold them for, and did the arithmetic on her CGT bill before they outed her the first time around.
Where’s McBride?
Smears of Blears stink
Brown doing what he does best, blundering on regardless.
That question of affordable housing is important. This is the next BIG fraud. The housing associations laws are stupid and full of holes.
The house builders are providing houses at a cheap rate (subsidised by raising the prices on the other houses) These go to “housing associations”. These are meant to be “not for profit” companies but we know how that works with bonuses. There is the precedent of warmfront/www.eaga.com that was meant to be not for profit in 1990 and turned into a profit making enterprise in 2000 using government grants.
Their remit originally sounded just like a housing association:
“Management and delivery of value-added
customer services in the domestic housing
sector on behalf of central government, local
authorities and utilities.”
This is how the money will be extracted out of the house building fantasy. What you need is high quality unemployed or low waged. A demand for new houses fuelled from population increases. You then wait 5 years and loan the money to the tenant to buy the house at full open market rate (Their right to buy). They get a house and the housing association gets the money. So they can pay themselves a big bonus.
Some one please look up who are the directors of these limited companies.
Uddin’s local housing assoc. has a few people called . . . . Uddin on it
Fancy that !
Forgot the link: Spitalfields Housing Association.
Has Uddin been thrown out of the Lords yet ? Arrested for fraud ?
I guess that fills their quota for employing those with special needs.
Master Baiter – God, you’re so annoying bringing your social hang ups to this message board. Have you tried therapy to sort out your feelings of social inferiority? I know this is a nulabour trait so perhaps you and a few mates could do a group session – it would work out cheaper for you and may help your mental state.
Sacks and ferrets come to mind.
And chutney
and burglars…………who may need a crap
brown was on form again. if you listen to the substance he nailed the bullingdons again.
the master leading us out of the worst recession in 80 years.
dosent matter what you blind people say history will be the judge. the bullingdons have got it wrong, wrong and wrong and when you people elect them they will continue to get it wrong, wrong and wrong
Brown is leading Labour into the wilderness… it will take a lot longer than 40 years to come out the other side, and it won’t be the promised land, cos he’s mortgaged that too.
Dead man walking!
Quote of the Day:
“It’s a DUCK Mr. Hoon!!!!!”
Andrew Neill exasperated with the Hoon…
I don’t accept that
Since “Hoon” is now being widely used as a derogatory term (as Quisling once was), does anyone know how long it takes for the Oxford Dictionary to enter such a word as an official addition to our rich language?
By the way, does it become a verb? “To Hoon” ? an adjective? or a noun? and what would be the definition of the word? Any suggestions?
Smells like an anchovy’s hoon?
Eddie Izzard Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
It’s speaks volumes about the total fucking chaos wrought on this country by Labour that a Cabinet Minister resigning over what amounts to criminal tax avoidance, is also doing so as a way of attacking Gordon Brown and forcing him to quit.
It’s time up for Labour. The only way that they can conceivably stay in power is by fighting and winning a general election. Surely this complete fucking shambles can’t be allowed to continue.
Yesterday I thought Gordon Brown was going down with the Titanic.
This morning though, Brown dressed himself as a woman, climbed into a lifeboat, threw the real women overboard, and is now paddling away as fast as he can shouting “I am Captain of this boat”.
The sly Hoon.
‘Ere stop messin abaahhht!
Look the let me out, I knew they would, they let me out, oh I’m feeling very tired again, must sleep, sleep, sle…………….
Cameron totally bottled it,
“Shakin’ all over!”
Kapow!
Har dee har har
You should apply for a job in the cabinet, they’ll take any old wanker they can get.
They all know that PMQs today is irrelevant.
It will be tomorrow that counts.
Under the circumstances Brown did well, he was a very convincing Pantomine Queen.
His performance as the Leader of a Government was less convincing.
All it means is that Alan Johnson who could have stemmed the tide against a Labour wipe out, will never get his chance. Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahah.
Cameron is worried that Brown will get the boot. The Tories want him to stay so Labour gets wiped out in the next election.
It’s been one of the worst weeks for you, kid.
Hurtin’ more than a bit maybe ?
Worried ?
Things can only get better.
Pass my regards to Unibomber Blears
Har dee har har.
Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than be ruind by too confident security

Bottled what???
What were you watching?
MB you are clearly insane and inane – Keep the red flag flying at all costs is it dear?
I wish you’d stop watching Batman, you’re driving your Father mad with all this “Pow” “Zap” and “Kapow.”
And I won’t tell you again, I want those posters down, and that sheet in the washing machine.
I’m serious, it crackles and I’m not touching it.
You’re assuming he wants to finish off Brown. Methinks Cameron wants to let him limp on as long as possible.
‘Ere stop messin’ abaahht!
They let me out, they let me out!
Cameron got himself kicked to pieces the thick Eton flop.
Sheet! Laundry basket Now!
What a thick twat you are. Dave can just sit back and let the Labour Party do all his dirty work for him.

LMFAO !!
Apart from crossing the floor and actually knifing Brown personally, what could Dave have done realistically apart from cajoling and encouraging those in the Labour Party already intent on ousting Brown? And then hoping they wouldn’t have the bottle.
He wants Brown exactly where he is.
